PERCH FISHING WITH LURES - How to fish a canal

We are perch fishing with lures again and this time we're fishing on a canal. I'm joined by Perch Masters sensation Thom Hunt who shows us how he finds and nails those absolute tanks from the canals in the uk.
Some cracking perch and a few tips and tricks thrown in. Thanks for checking out the video.

There's no bigger fish than a big Perch. Cracking video as always Nick!

[@Lifeonthebank]

They are a bit special arn’t they! 😉👍

[@mattphilcarver6218]

Lovely stuff guys. But surely you had that fish out the water for too long, right?

[@Lifeonthebank]

Looks like that in the edit. But we put it back in for a rest after measuring etc

[@mattphilcarver6218]

@@Lifeonthebank Ahh that's good to know. Thanks for replying.

[@dominicburton950]

Lovely Stuff .Awsome canal perch for Thom. He has an immense wealth of knowledge and experience but his enthusiasm just for fishing always shines through .Lovely stuff Nick as always 👍👍👍

[@Lifeonthebank]

Yep. There’s always lots of tips n tricks when Thoms around! 👍👍🙏

[@RevnedC]

Excellent and informative as always. Loved that you caught on the crankbait. Only just watched the Perch Masters with Thom and his advice hit home for me with that fish 👌

[@Lifeonthebank]

Fished with Thom a few times recently. I always come away having learnt something 👍👍👍

[@dougreynolds2813]

my best fishing buddy is named Nick, we live in Cheboygan, Michigan, USA; we chase perch and walleye, i'm interested to see what i can learn from you. nice meeting you, Nick.

[@lesliecrowther7004]

Yet again another great day Nik, who's that other geza ?? Think he is ?? Walks up, chucks out and gives you a kick in the pills with an absolute stonker of a fish. Nice to see come up with a reply mate. Well done both of you 👏 great fish, great content and always welcomed viewing 👍 😊. All the best mate, you two will have to get out more often if time allows, I bet you bounce off each other all day. I bet there's people out there that would love a day out on the bank with you guys. Cheers mate Les.

[@Lifeonthebank]

I know! Can’t believe the cheek of it! Rolls up, bungs his lure in and catches an absolute monster!!! 😆 Yes, very much enjoy my sessions with Thom. Had an awesome pike session the other day! Good times! Thanks for checking out the video mate 🙏👏👏👏

[@shauncorless8965]

Been spinning for perch 50 yrs ,,,and the best spinner is the original Deven minnow ,you never see them today

[@Lifeonthebank]

Not used those. Big fan of Mepps though 👌

[@Tjw1]

I thought you were having a break Nick, glad the content keeps coming 👍

[@Lifeonthebank]

Cheers mate. My post stated that I’m carrying on until the end of the year so will have a few more to come 😉👍

[@trueblue7563]

Love the videos mate. Keep them coming please 🙏

[@user-vi9gw8pt9v]

Top stuff, good to see Thom back on your channel. As always great content.

[@Lifeonthebank]

A top bloke and an awesome angler! Know his way around a big perch too!!! 😂👍

[@fish-qg4nu]

I fished my canal all autumn into winter once and got a single perch around a poundish. Tried float fishing and had two over 1lb 3oz on my first try. 😂

[@Chrisowen1948Newbury]

😅excellent video, really enjoyed watching, who's the other bloke 😂 more of these please. Tight lines

[@paulAnthony7236]

Hopefully the river won't be in flood so I can get on the big perch we have some big perch behind Durham cricket ground in the river wear.Ill be on the freeze dried sprat on one rod and do a bit lure fishing too.

[@byronstubley3621]

Cracking video again I've always found the canal's hard compared to the river's soo very helpful video as always 💯🎣

[@ianwaters1144]

I’ve been fishing for like a couple years now but most canals are scarce on pike these days and the ones around tend to be small jacks. So I took up the small scaled down approach to catch and started my perch journey absolutely loved it so far.

[@Lifeonthebank]

Good to hear. Be lucky!!!

[@sammoore6835]

Hi been watching your videos for some time .they actually inspire me to go jigging for perch . Im having trouble with the 1000s of lures available. Can you put me in the right direction with a few examples to give me confidence to build from please .as i am struggling and changing lures to often as i dont know what works etc . Many thanks Sam

[@leejohnson7471]

Me to 8 sessions 3 jak pike.Just enjoy the fishing and keep learning from the best teacher...yourself.

[@anotherangleUK]

Nice fish and nicely filmed, I like your edits. Keep them coming.

[@Lifeonthebank]

Cheers mate. Appreciated 👌👍👍

[@stephenholland132]

It doesn't matter what I do, I rarely get anything that size on my local cut. There's some bigguns in there, but the biggest I get, and we're talking below 1lb, are on a Ned rig or a spinner. Any tips?

[@Lifeonthebank]

I have found that the smaller perch will back off a bit as it gets colder. You’ll get fewer bites but more chance of a biggun! Keeping going mate!! 👍👍

[@FScully100]

Great video , but curiosity has got the better of me. Tom's jignead was different in the catch sequence than the review of his set up. An almost white colour. Is he keeping that secret ? B)

[@Lifeonthebank]

Hhmmm … you’ve rumbled him. 😂 Not sure the colour makes a difference personally. I think the weight of the jighead is way more important 👍

[@FScully100]

[@JohnHooper-e6v]

What happened to the kayak fishing Nick that you promised us?.

[@Lifeonthebank]

I’ve been out on the kayak a few times. I’m going to keep you updated via youtube shorts. In fact the first of a few was released this today - kzbin.infowWcXrLgnKiU?si=mXCtA7rZ_69cV9xV As mentioned the other week, I’m not releasing long form videos from the end of the year but keep an eye out for these shorter videos.

[@trevorcornes1056]

That was some perch Nick , but you had a lovely one too mate . Keep it coming 👍

[@Lifeonthebank]

Yeah, was happy that I managed a few! Was really pleased to see Thoms biggun on the bank. They don’t always have to be in my net 😆 Nice to see mates catch fish like that!!! 👍👍👍

[@blankmasterfishing]

It just keeps getting better! Perch fishing video with you and Thom! Hell yeah🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@Lifeonthebank]

Was out pike fishing with him the other day too. Enjoy our sessions 👌👍

[@blankmasterfishing]

@@Lifeonthebank cool! Hope you guys managed to catch a few!👌🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@Lifeonthebank]

Absolutely did 😉👍

[@dreammaker730]

Nice on the biggest canal perch I've had has been 2lb.

[@Lifeonthebank]

Yeah a 3 from the canal is pretty special 👍👍👍

[@blackline66]

Great chemistry between you two. Not easy to find that. Start a channel! Cheers guys.

[@Lifeonthebank]

Both simply love fishing. Nice chunk by Thom! 🎉🎉

[@Pete.108]

Awesome guys to say the least. Could you please tell me what extendable make of landing net you are using, as really would love to give this style of fishing ago. Tight lines and all the best Peter.

[@markevansangling]

That’s the Korum snapper net, discontinued now but you can still find a few for sale. Korum still make their telescopic handles though, just not with snapper branding on them. I can highly recommend either the opportunist handles or the new Allrounder ones 👍🏻

[@Pete.108]

Cheers for the advise, much appreciated.

[@trevorcornes1056]

Totally agree Nick .

[@Ttownanglers]

Great stuff guys enjoyed that..

[@Lifeonthebank]

Cheers. Appreciate you checking it out 🙏👍👍

[@kristianzapater1913]

Regarding the bits of man made fibre you found, do you collect them and dispose of them or leave them where they are? Would be good if all KZbin anglers could be roles models in teaching people to get rid of rubbish they find. Thanks for the great content.

[@Lifeonthebank]

A very good point. It was in the canal, not sure why it was in there. Never had an issue with it before.

[@kristianzapater1913]

@@Lifeonthebank it's such a shame our waterways are collecting such items, hopefully enough angler's out there see the rubbish and clear it up. Appreciate your reply and thank you for the great content.
